I don't think that Sinclair is out of contract as I vaguely remember being reported at the time of his trade that he was given a 4 year contract (2016-2019), but I can't find anything online to verify this. My thoughts are if he was out of contract it would have been mentioned in the media by now.Comment

Roar article (Josh Elliott, pretty good journo) said it was four years:
?It?s believed the lure of a four-year deal is what swayed Sinclair from his original plans to remain with the Eagles despite outside interest.?

Was definitely four as many posters were complaining about having to pay a spud for four years and how we lost the Jetta trade! What did Midnight Oil sing? Short memories must have a ..... :-) Sinclair has been huge, credit to him and anyone in the coaching staff responsible for the big lift in performance.Comment

Agreed. I have to admit I never thought of Sinkers as a lead ruck. I thought he was a handy forward with the potential to pinch hit in the ruck, but didn?t think he had the smarts and competitive streak he?s shown this year. Good on him.Comment

As a tall forward with a potential upside and the ability to move to ruck when needed.
Annoys the hell out of me when commentators express their amazement that he is doing well in the forward line.
Show how much they know - they see him as a ruck only for some reason.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Adding to the Darcy Moore story we now have reports that we are after Jeremy McGovern:

I'm surprised that we can afford to pursue these players, especially McGovern. In any case, it represents a big vote of no confidence for Aliir and Maibaum. If there's any truth to this we can expect Aliir will be out the door at the end of the season. It would seem that the management feel that 2016 was an aberration and Aliir will never reach that level again.
I wonder what will happen with all these KPPs that we are accumulating. I now think that Franklin will go on past his current contract. So what will happen with McCartin, Amartey and Blakely, let alone Aliir, Maibaum and Pink? We seem to have an excess of quality KPPs yet are pursuing new ones. These are not the kind of players who will want to be spending their careers in the reserves waiting for players to retire or get injured.Comment

Although it?d be nice to have another Father/Son at the Club, it?s not unlikely that McGovern?s manager is using the Swans ?interest? to inflate this next contract offer from the Weagles ... or the media trying to hype up a slow news day.Comment

I am sure that McGovern would be a great acquisition but I think that he is most likely to re-sign with the WCE when it comes down to it. I feel we are more likely to pick up Moore from Collingwood than him given DeGoey?s tremendous form yesterday (how good was he?). He will now need to be paid big money to stay putting greater pressure on their salary cap.
